Hi, I'm Riiny, Technical Founder & AI Engineer.

I'm building Bukra full-time and looking for my next role as an AI Engineer. Previously an AI Associate at Crossbeam. My focus is applied ML: agents, fine-tuning, eval infrastructure, and the systems work that makes model iteration legible under real constraints.

Current Focus

Building Bukra, a cross-border transport platform live across six African countries, and looking for my next role as an AI Engineer. Most recently I built cellar, an AI support agent that checks its own work, and wrote up what I found.

Background

CS degree with a Studio Art minor. ML has been the through-line — coursework and self-directed projects through college, and now Bukra, cellar and a personal eval harness. Building toward an AI Engineering role.
